If a black hole shreds a star and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Professor Yvette Cendes, (aka u/Andromeda321 on Reddit), a Radio Astronomer studying transient radio signals from space. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a report by the Dark Energy Survey that seems to show that the amount of dark energy originally described as the cosmological constant by Albert Einstein might in fact be variable. As Prof. Cendes explains, the data indicates that universal expansion is still accelerating but the rate might be changing. After Yvette explains what she does, and how radio astronomy works in concert with optical astronomy to deliver a more complete understanding, Chuck asks her to explain Tidal Disruption Events, or TDEs, about which she's a world expert. A TDE is when a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole and ends up getting shredded. Yvette prefers to call them “Shredders.” Our first audience question comes from Nachama, who asks, “When will the black hole in the Milky Way eat the Sun?” The good news, according to Yvette, is that will never happen. As she explains, black holes actually don't suck any more than anything that massive would, and we're 25-30,000 light years away from Sagittarius A* – too far away to worry about. Next, Chuck asks Yvette about one of the most famous transient signals we've ever found, the so called “Wow!” signal detected in 1977 by Jerry Ehman at the now-defunct Xavier Observatory in Ohio. Because the signal looked exactly like what might be expected if it were of extraterrestrial origin, Ehman circled it on the printout and wrote, “Wow!” Unfortunately, it never repeated. The most likely explanation, according to Dr. Cendes, is that it was some sort of manmade interference, although the signal is currently being reinvestigated. Yvette recounts how she ended up ended up as a first-term professor at the University of Oregon after studying in the Netherlands and Toronto and working at Harvard. Then she answers an audience question from Yan Min, who asks, “Where is the best place in the world to study astronomy? I live in New York – Is it New York?” Unfortunately for Yankees fans, Yvette says it would most likely be Cambridge, Massachusetts thanks to Harvard, which has the biggest number of astronomers under one roof and operates the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and M.I.T. on the other side of town if you get bored. Chuck asks Yvette what happens after a black hole shreds a star. Shredders, she explains, are rare. In our own Milky Way, they probably happen once every million years. Once a TDE is classified by optical astronomers, Yvette and her team point their radio telescopes at the tidal radius outside of the event horizon to discern the outflows weeks, months and even years after the initial event. He also asks Yvette if she has any hobbies to help her decompress from thinking about violent events in the universe. She likes to cross stitch, the “original pixel art.” Yvette shows us a cross stitch she made of the James Webb Space Telescope complex mirror, another featuring an 8-bit Mario screen with the words “What doesn't kill me makes me smaller,” and a third with objects in the Solar System. She also embroiders and shows us a hoop featuring the constellations visible in the northern hemisphere night sky. We end with Yvette and Allen schooling Chuck about Reddit's immense reach and value in scientific discourse. One subreddit, called r/Space, has “27 million intelligent lifeforms” subscribed to it. On Reddit, Yvette's username is u/Andromeda321, and she's one of the top users on the platform over 1 million karma points. She's known for starting her posts that explain or comment on recent discoveries with the phrase, “Astronomer here!” If you'd like to follow Dr. Yvette Cendes, you can find her on Reddit, where she's u/Andromeda321, and her dedicated subreddit, reddit.com/r/Andromeda321.

[Launch Control: 25 seconds…] When space shuttle Columbia headed for orbit 25 years ago tomorrow, it made history. It was the first mission commanded by a woman – Air Force pilot Eileen Collins. And it was carrying the heaviest payload ever lofted by a shuttle: Chandra X-Ray Observatory – the largest X-ray telescope ever flown. [Launch Control: 5, 4, 3, we have a go for engine start, zero. We have booster ignition and liftoff of Columbia! Reaching new heights for women and X-ray astronomy.] And Chandra is maintaining those heights – it’s still working. The telescope studies some of the hottest and most energetic objects and events in the universe – exploding stars, outbursts from normal stars, gas around black holes, and much more. Such objects produce much of their energy in the form of X-rays. But Earth’s atmosphere blocks most X-rays, so the only way to study them is from space. Chandra’s orbit carries it more than a third of the way to the Moon. That puts it outside most of Earth’s radiation belts, which can “fog” X-ray images. X-rays go right through a normal telescope mirror. So Chandra uses a set of mirrors along the sides of the telescope tube. X-rays graze off those mirrors and come to a focus at the telescope’s instruments. Chandra is still making history today – by keeping a sharp “eye” on the X-ray sky. Script by Damond Benningfield

When the Chandra X-Ray Observatory launched 25 years ago, it showed us our universe in a whole new light (literally). From the remnants of exploded stars to Jupiter's auroras, Chandra has shown us so many beautiful and scientifically important sights. Even after a quarter decade this unique telescope is still giving us new data about black holes and whirling neutron stars and all the things out in space that give off x-rays. Thanks to our guest in this episode: Dr. Daniel Castro - Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Megan Lin - Chandra X-Ray Observatory Flight Operations Team Lead Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter

Is the NASA Advisory Council (NAC) system becoming unglued? During the NAC Science Committee meeting on March 21st, there were significant questions about the Primary NAC and its ability to deliver recommendations to NASA's leadership expeditiously so they can be acted upon by NASA Leadership. That wasn't the only thing on the minds of NASA's scientists and advisors. The Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory are profoundly impacted by NASA's austere FY 24 and FY 25 budget constraints, and one of the two missions may face cancellation. Also, the significant demands placed on NASA's Deep Space Network were of major concern. We report on what was said and offer analysis.   The Intuitive Machines IM-1 mission was officially declared completed when, as predicted, the robotic Odysseus lunar lander did not respond to a "wake-up" call on March 23rd. Larry Herrin and Mark Ratterman talked with Chantelle Baier, CEO of 4Space, who facilitated one of the commercial payloads on the IM-1 mission, to wrap up her experiences on the flight and discuss future endeavors. See Jeff Koons Moon Phases web site to explore the details of his art, exploring themes of connectivity and acceptance. NASA extended its call for new astronaut applications through April 16th and Mark Ratterman highlights what the US Army is doing to encourage applicants in its ranks.  After the joint Boeing Space/NASA press conferences last week highlighting the upcoming first crewed flight test of the CST 100 Starliner, some words were put out on social media by some prominent individuals in space advocacy berating Boeing Space. In a commentary, Gene Mikulka poses a question: Can't we wish Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams well and forget about wearing our corporate t-shirts for a little while? Finally, Space exploration lost two giants this past week, and we look back on the lives and contributions of former astronaut General Thomas P. Stafford and former Johnson Spaceflight Center Director  George W.S. Abbey.  All this and more, on this episode of Talking Space! Host: Larry Herrin Panel Members: Gene Mikulka &  Mark Ratterman - Dr. Kat Robison and Sawyer Rosenstein will return.  

The last great "out of Arica" movement of our ancestors swept out of the northeast of the continent 74,000 years ago. Archaeologist John Kappelman of the University of Texas brings us an update to this complex tale in the form of animal carcasses. We take a trip to Oxford to meet some of postgraduate researcher Ally Morton-Hayward's archive of preserved brains. Not only is Ally shining a light on these underappreciated brains, she is also using them to unlock a rich treasure-trove of information about our ancestors and how they were preserved.How do you develop and promote a vaccine against a widespread but neglected parasite? Maria Elena Bottazzi from Baylor College of Medicine is in India promoting their latest development in creating a hookworm vaccine that works against these life-limiting childhood parasites. And, is the Chandra X-Ray Observatory at risk? In a decision that has shocked astronomers, the functioning telescope is on the chopping block because of NASA budget cuts. We hear from Belinda Wilkes of Bristol University about Chandra's impressive history and why it should keep going.

A Soyuz launch scheduled to travel to the ISS was scrubbed twenty seconds before liftoff. SpaceX plans to launch later today with cargo for the ISS. SpaceX has also announced that they could be launching Strship again in six weeks. Budget cuts for NASA means they will be forced to shut down the CHandra X-Ray Observatory. And a study of an impact on Mars produced more than 2 billion secondary craters. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/made-of-stars--4746260/support.

A new collection of stunning images highlights data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes.

The Rosette Nebula is a type of nebula consisting of a cloud of gas and dust in space, formed by the release of gas from large stars. It is estimated to be 130 light years in diameter and is five times bigger than the full moon. Leisa Townsley and her team used the Chandra X-ray telescope to observe the Rosette Nebula, and found that the stars within it are colliding and producing gas at temperatures of 6 million degrees. This corresponds to the Quran's description of the sky becoming "rose red, like stained leather". The Rosette Nebula is a spectacular example of stars and gas coalescing to form a celestial body, and is a testament to the accuracy of the Quran's descriptions of the sky.

Rudy is a legend who lays bare the secrets of Chandra. You will love his explanations as you develop a clearer understanding of how X-ray astronomy works! Thank you Dr Rodolfo Montez Jr!

Moon Phases for May Full Moon - 6 May (with penumbral eclipse in the early morning) Moon at Perigee - 11 May Last Quarter - 12 May New Moon - 20 May First Quarter - 28 May (also apogee moon) Evening Sky Highlights VENUS - moving from Taurus into gemini and getting brighter and climbing higher in the West. From the 9th to 10th Venus is closed to the open cluster M35. On the 23rd Venus is just 3degrees from the crescent moon, and on the 30th Venus will be right next to the Mag 3 double star Kappa Geminorum. Venus is in it's ‘half-moon' phase at the moment. MARS - shrinking as it moves further away from earth in its orbit, but still easily visible, but you'll need a serious large telescope to pull in deatils of Mars. On the 31st Mars is next to the Beehive Cluster. On the 24th Mars, Venus and the waxing moon make a neat little triangle in the West. Morning Sky Highlights On the 18th MERCURY the thin crescent moon with Jupiter above will be a nice capture for astrophotographers and naked eye observers. On the 29th Mercury is at its highest in Eastern morning skies and easily found. SATURN in morning skies is a decent telescopic object again and angled just right to feature the maximum amount of shadow from Saturn's rings. The Heart of the MILKY WAY is beginning to rise again with Scorpius very visible. The Eta Aquariid Meteor Shower is strong and reliable, however this year the Full Moon will play havoc for meteor watchers. Of course some meteors will be observed on the morning of the 5th if you choose your time wisely. Ian's Tangent - Betelgeuse is brightening Scorpius is now down close to the Western Horizon taking Betelgeuse with it. After the 2019 ‘dimming' of the red giant, caused by outgassing, we are observing the brightening of Betelgeuse again. Ian also gives us great tips on how to start observing variable stars. Next Episode: Dr Rodolfo (Rudy) Montez Jnr gives us a brilliant expose of X-Ray astronomy and the astonishing science of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory

In this episode: We meet Dr. Steven Hawley, Professor Emeritus of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kansas, and former NASA astronaut who's flown on five Space Shuttle missions. In those missions, Hawley had major roles in the deployment and later upkeep of the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory.   In our conversation, Dr. Hawley discusses the first telescope he owned, the 1991 Hubble Space Telescope deployment mission, his role in its deployment, why it initially didn't operate as intended, what it's told us about our universe, his later role in the launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and his thoughts on the upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.   In describing his first space mission deploying the bus-sized Hubble in 1991, Hawley says, “My job was to operate the arm to grasp the telescope, lift it out of the payload bay, and release it. Well, that sounds simple enough on the surface. It actually was quite complicated, and there were a lot of ‘what-ifs' that we had to think about.”   Introductory and closing music: Paint the Sky by Hans Atom © Copyright 2015, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/hansatom/50718 Ft: Miss Judged

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y266jhhteQ From February 5, 2019. Astronomers working with the NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton have developed a technique to watch quasars and track the expansion of the Universe over the last 9 billion years.   What they found is that the mysterious dark energy that's currently accelerating the expansion of the Universe doesn't appear to be a fixed amount. It's changing, and appears to be increasing over time.    If true, it's a groundbreaking discovery in cosmology, and it could just fortell the end of the Universe.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mi4qC44VU Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )Special Guests: Tonight we welcome Annie Dickson-Vandervelde, Emily Wilson. and Dr. Joel Kastner to the WSH. Annie led this team of Rochester Institute of Technology astronomers which used Gaia data to discover what may be a giant baby planet located closer to Earth than any other similarly aged planet so far. Since their paper was published in the Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society on February 7, 2020, their collaborators at other institutions received additional new data and now the situation surrounding their discovery is now confusing. Annie, Emily, and Joel will be providing insight into their research and what this new data may now indicate.   Annie Dickson-Vandervelde ( @astranniemy ) is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Astrophysical Sciences and Technology program at RIT. She currently studies young stars and their protoplanetary disks. She is interested in the way that stars form and additionally the way that planets form around young stars. She did her undergraduate work at Francis Marion University in Florence, SC studying Computational Physics   Emily Wilson ( @starstuffwilson ) is a Ph.D. student in RIT's Astrophysical Sciences and Technology program in Rochester, NY. Her research largely focuses on theoretical binary star evolution, though recent work has included observational stellar astrophysics studies on nearby young moving groups. In addition, she conducts research with colleagues at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on signing with conceptual accuracy in physics classrooms. Her undergraduate degree in Astrophysics was completed at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA.   Dr. Joel Kastner ( jhkpci@rit.edu ) earned a BS in Physics at the University of Maryland (1981) and Masters and PhD degrees in Astronomy at the University of California Los Angeles in 1986. As a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology he worked on a team developing the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Joel's research interests include Star and planet formation; late stages of stellar evolution; X-ray, optical/IR, and radio imaging and spectroscopy; and image processing algorithms and systems. Joel joined the faculty at the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005, and in 2013 he also joined RIT's School of Physics and Astronomy. He served as the Director of the Laboratory for Multiwavelength Astrophysics at RIT from 2010 through 2016. In 2020 he was named an American Astronomical Society Legacy Fellow.   You can read RIT's press release about this exciting discovery here: https://www.rit.edu/news/rit-scientis... Regular Guests: Dr. Kimberly Cartier ( http://KimberlyCartier.org & @AstroKimCartier ) Dave Dickinson ( http://astroguyz.com/ & @Astroguyz ) Veranika (Nika) Klimovich ( @veranikaspace / Pictame: @nika_klim ) This week's stories: - Mars 2020 gets a new name.

On this episode of the Public Radio Hour, we mark the 20th anniversary of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Marshall Space Flight Center for X-ray astronomy Dr. Martin Weisskopf joins MSFC historian Brian Odom to talk about Chandra's history and discoveries. We also look ahead to the future of X-ray observation with research astrophysicist and NASA study scientist Dr. Jessica Gaskin ...

A European patent clerk with an overactive imagination revealed to the world the very fabric of space and time. But decades later, the discovery of black holes would reveal far more challenging facts about the nature of our universe: gaping holes in the very fabric of reality itself. Within the depths of black holes, we might find the keys to a comprehensive and unifiying understanding of quantum mechanics and General Relativity... or we might find a window to oblivion.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist, author, host of "NOVA ScienceNOW," and the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium. Listen as Dr. Tyson discusses the extraordinary capabilities of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

Astronomers working with the NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton have developed a technique to watch quasars and track the expansion of the Universe over the last 9 billion years. What they found is that the mysterious dark energy that's currently accelerating the expansion of the Universe doesn't appear to be a fixed amount. It's changing, and appears to be increasing over time. If true, it's a groundbreaking discovery in cosmology, and it could just fortel the end of the Universe.Support Universe Today Podcast

Astronomers working with the NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton have developed a technique to watch quasars and track the expansion of the Universe over the last 9 billion years. What they found is that the mysterious dark energy that’s currently accelerating the expansion of the Universe doesn’t appear to be a fixed amount. It’s changing, and appears to be increasing over time. If true, it’s a groundbreaking discovery in cosmology, and it could just fortel the end of the Universe.

Now with the help of NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, scientists may have uncovered a unique star in a stellar nursery.

Fritz talks about a recent cattle mutilation in Argentina, Angela explains how duct tape is saving lives on the International Space Station, Kaz shares a picture of two spiral galaxies colliding from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, Mandaddy reviews The Beyond and Iron Fist, Angela then reviews Ozark season one, Fritz then pretends he has seen it

NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory is a telescope designed to detect X-ray emissions from very hot regions of the universe.

C'est une gigantesque traînée de gaz chaud, véritable queue de galaxie, que le télescope Chandra X-Ray Observatory vient de mettre en évidence au sein l'amas de galaxies Zwicky 8338. D'une longueur inégalée de 250 000 années-lumière, soit plus de deux fois le diamètre de notre galaxie...

The United Nations has declared 2015 the International Year of Light and NASA is joining the celebration by uploading amazing images from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.

On en sait maintenant beaucoup plus sur les mécanismes qui ralentissent le grossissement des galaxies, ils sont bel et bien liés au trou noir supermassif qu'elles comportent en leur centre. Le phénomène en cause est appelé la précipitation cosmique.C'est avec le télescope spatial Chandra X-Ray Observatory que cette découverte a pu être faite et rapportée prochainement dans la revue Nature quelques semaines après une première publication sur le même sujet dans the Astrophysical Journal Letters.On savait depuis un moment que le trou noir supermassif d'une galaxie avait un effet sur le grossissement de certaines galaxies, mais c'est aujourd'hui la première fois que l'on parvient à démontrer l'existence du phénomène physique en cause...

La plus grosse émission de rayons X jamais observée en provenance du trou noir supermassif de notre galaxie, Sgr A*, a été observée et son étude vient d'être rendue publique au cours du meeting de l'AAS (American Astronomical Society) qui a lieu en ce moment à Seattle. Cette observation date de septembre 2013 et a été effectuée avec le télescope spatial Chandra X-Ray Observatory....

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Chandra X-ray Observatory, we have released four new images of supernova remnants.

The Chandra images included in this brief 2013 retrospective are drawn from dozens of images.

On this episode, we discuss the troubles preventing Discovery from flying on her final voyage. We talk about the cracks discovered in the external tank and what this could do to a launch date. We also discussed the recent Expedition 26 spacewalk aboard the International Space Station. We then delve into more space policy dilemmas as well as budgetary issues for the James Webb Space Telescope, the replacement for the aging Hubble Space Telescope. Lastly, we talk about some amazing finds by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory finding a newborn black hole. Host this week: Gene Mikulka. Panel Member: Mark Ratterman Show Recorded - 11/15/2010
